Dramatic Poetry Gothic Nature Supernatural Guilt Redemption Isolation
Manfred: A dramatic poem is a play written by Lord Byron and first published in 1817.
"And a magic voice and verse
Hath baptized thee with a curse;
And a spirit of the air
Hath begirt thee with a snare;
In the wind there is a voice
Shall forbid thee to rejoice;
And to thee shall Night deny
All the quiet of her sky;
And the day shall have a sun,
Which shall make thee wish it done."

High in the Alps, a guilty soul defies heaven and hell with terrible clarity. Byron’s verse is glacier-bright—gothic, defiant, and tender toward grief that will not be managed.
When self-reliance becomes isolation, this poem asks what strength is for. It treats remorse seriously and autonomy without swagger, reminding us that some storms are weathered, not solved.
Mountains echo what conscience says.
Power that refuses comfort.
Cut glass lines that still burn.
